A tank pivoting its chassis is a turn, and can only be performed with a move.
Turning the turret is not considered moving, so can be done with a Fire order. I wouldn’t allow it with an Ambush order, but that’s RAI.

As SteveT wrote, MMGs spread the risks/increase chancing of doing something minor rather than nothing.

It seems strange to assume that if the crew has to keep its…[Read more]

I agree, on both counts. Examples include the different German boxed sets.
That said, there are also upsides: the beefier models are much more resilient (which is important to me as a wargamer) and the more restricted poses do mean that the figs are easier to assemble.

It can also be fired as a Light AT gun. As always, state before firing (or going into Ambush) what shell you are using.
